Algorithms Part 1 - Channel News Asia - Ep 1: Rage Against The Machine

Featuring: Prof. Dorien Herremans & Prof Elaine Chew's MorpheuS algorithm for automatic music generation

Algorithms are a new digital species in our world, streamlining every aspect of our lives. But we are only just beginning to question their control - is it too late to rage against the machine?

About the show:

There are quiet codes weaved into the fabric of modern life, silently crunching mountains of big data, and helping us solve problems based on the results they derive. They are known as Algorithms - complex webs of code that can determine anything. From whether you should watch this show, to telling police departments if you're going to commit a crime, and where. But can math, and the computers that calculate it, be wrong?
